How should test results be recorded to comply with ICC U3 standards?

• A. On a sticky note.
• B. In a formal report with date, location, tank ID, test type, readings, pass/fail, and authorized signature.
• C. In a spreadsheet without signature.
• D. Verbally to the supervisor.

Answer: (B)

Recording test results must be formal and traceable to ensure accountability and future verification. ICC U3 standards require a formal report that captures all essential details: the date and location of the test, the tank ID, the type of test performed, the readings collected, whether the tank passed or failed, and an authorized signature confirming who conducted and approved the results. This creates an auditable record that can be reviewed during inspections, audits, or if future maintenance is needed. A sticky note or a spreadsheet without a signature lacks permanence, formal authority, or complete context; verbal reporting to a supervisor also fails to create a lasting, verifiable record. The formal report ensures data integrity, accountability, and compliance with record-keeping requirements.
